802...Toronto Star Says We Want An Majority

So vote Liberal already!

In a story for TorStar this morning, Bruce Campion-Smith has a cute lead:

"Do you yearn for days when federal elections were rare events like eclipses or comets, not an annual chore like raking the leaves?"

Mr. Campion-Smith goes on to reference a Harris-Decima poll that indicates that citizens of the Great White North have a strong desire, at a ratio of two to one, to be governed by a majority government. The problem is that what the electorate wants and what it will give itself are two separate things.

Nik Nanos, another pollster, doesn't rule out a majority, stating that the results of the election are on the shoulders of Michael Ignatieff.

Time to hit it out of the park, Mikey I, time to hit it out of the park.

504...Give The People What They Want

Jennifer Ditchburn scribbles in this morning's Winnipeg Free Press that the people, that is you and I, are sick of minority governments and that a Harris-Decima Poll shows that 64 per cent of us what a majority.

Let's get with it folks, vote Red, make it happen.

In a related story, Harris MacLeod in the Hill Times, a fish wrap that caters to those on Parliament Hill, reports that "A Léger Marketing poll taken in Quebec between June 25 and June 27 had the Bloc and the Liberals tied at 35 per cent support, with the NDP at 15 per cent, and the Tories at 11 per cent."

So there is hope for us after all.
